Multifocal atherosclerosis: focus on the prevention of ischemic events

In patients with atherosclerotic lesions of two or more systems or multifocal atherosclerosis (MFA), the risks of ischemic events are extremely high. MFA leads not only to cardiovascular outcomes, but also to a decrease in the patient’s quality of life, life expectancy, and in most cases to disabili...

description In patients with atherosclerotic lesions of two or more systems or multifocal atherosclerosis (MFA), the risks of ischemic events are extremely high. MFA leads not only to cardiovascular outcomes, but also to a decrease in the patient’s quality of life, life expectancy, and in most cases to disability. The prevalence of this pathology and the importance of preventing adverse outcomes are often underestimated. This literature review examines the problem of MFA in the context of key studies on the prevalence, course of multivessel disease and the reduction of the risk of cardiovascular events in this group of patients, with an emphasis on antiplatelet and anticoagulant therapy.
